A bit of fun

Saturday night was party night as staff and their friends / partners came together for the annual barbeque and games challenge.

'Challenge' is the word because there's usually a football match that looks similar to something you see in a school playground where a ball gets kicked and swarms of people chase it around until someone eventually toe-pokes it into the goal! Mike the Forester turned 'poacher' for the evening but thanks to him the castle team managed to save face.

A welcome addition to this year's event was live music from Sandy Ingram (fiddle) and Alan Morrison (accordian). It looked like all the staff thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the dances - especially 'Strip the Willow'. As Stuart (Head Guide) said, 'For as long as I live I will never forget the look on Gary's face as his feet lifted off the ground during the spinning part of the dance. It was a look of absolute surprise, shock and fear.'

The weather was kind to us, the food was first class and the camaraderie of the team here at Glamis was reinforced once again.
